In Qt programs like Cantata or VLC, when you maximize the program and try scrolling on the very right edge of the screen, the scrollbar doesn't register.

Steps:

1. Load up Cantata and maximize the window.
2. Add enough music to the playlist so that scrollbars appear.
3. Move your mouse as far right as it can go.
4. Click the scrollbar  "thumb" and drag down.
5. Notice how no scrolling occurs.

This also happens in VLC. However, it does not happen in QtCreator for whatever reason. It does not happen in KDE or Gnome.

Can you please post the output of :

I tried with VLC or kinsole and was able to reproduce. However, I tried with mutter as well and it was the same so this is not an xfwm4 specific issue.

The same works with other apps (GTK+ or Google Chrome for example) so I reckon this is a toolkit issue, not sure why comment 0 states that the same works in KDE or GNOME, it certainly does not work in GNOME either, at least here.

Maybe a theme issue?

The GNOME comment was from this ( https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata/issues/1474#issuecomment-482926419 ), so I didn't actually test it. Although I just tested it in virtualbox and I get the same problem as xfce like you said.

It's weird, I just tested Geany (gtk3) in xfce and it fails to scroll, but it works in KDE Plasma.

All the xfce themes I tested exhibit the same behavior. For reference i'm using Greybird on Arch Linux.

Same bug exists for thunar and mousepad:

Bug #16050 and Bug #16056

Fixed for thunar by setting some "border-right-width" to zero.

My guess would be that this bug needs to get fixed per application, and we can close this one.
Comment 6 jazztickets 2019-10-17 16:27:41 CEST
"border-right-width" is a GTK property, right?  There might be two issues then. One with GTK and another with Qt. But for some reason KDE Plasma is handling it correctly (or perhaps just differently such that it works, maybe as a workaround).
